Description

FIRE-INSULATING WALL COVE1IVIG RIM A PREPA TIO ' METHOD
r R SZU4E

The present invention relates to a fire-insulating wall covering and to a method for preparing same. The present invention relates particularly to a fire-insulating and preferably also sound-absorbing wall covering which meets currently stringent requirements in respect of fire-insulating properties. Such a fire-insulating wall covering can be applied in tunnels, underground spaces such as shopping centres and the like.
Fire-insulating wall coverings known at the present time do not fully satisfy the stringent requirements in respect of fire-insulating properties.`In the case of a fire load on such a wall covering, for instance for 120 minutes, and a temperature on the fire side lying in the range of 1100 to 1350 C for these two hours, these fire-insulating properties mean, among other things, that this wall covering insulates against fire such that on the side of the wall covering remote from the fire the temperature remains relatively low, and particularly below 225 C, preferably below 200 C.
The wall covering must moreover have good sound-absorbing properties and is asbestos-free.
The invention has for its object to provide such a fire-insulating and sound-absorbing wall covering as well as a method for preparation thereof. It is noted here that the wall covering can be applied per se, but is preferably applied as wall covering arranged on a supporting layer, for instance a concrete layer which can optionally be strengthened with a reinforcement. The underlying layers are
2 thus protected against high temperatures.
This is achieved according to the invention with a fire-insulating wall covering comprising a cured mixture of:
i) 5-20% by weight mineralized wood fibre;
ii) 20-60% by weight sand with an Si02 content of less than 5% by weight and a greywacke content of at least 30% by weight; and iii) 20-50% by weight cement.
The fire-insulating wall covering is in fact based on a cured cement plate having incorporated therein a specific type of wood fibre and a specific type of sand.
The applied wood fibre for inter alia sound absorption is a mineralized wood fibre. Such a mineralized wood fibre is obtained by bringing wood fibres into contact with a solution of aluminium sulphate. The wood fibres are generally obtained from residual wood which is processed in different steps to form wood fibre with a moisture content of about 15-25% (atro basis). The aluminium sulphate is added in a quantity of about 2.5% relative to the wood fibre and supplemented with a quantity of water, whereby the moisture percentage rises to about 100% (atro). The obtained wood fibres, which are thus covered with aluminium sulphate, are the mineralized wood fibres applied in the fire-insulating wall covering according to the invention.
The applied aluminium sulphate is of standard chemical quality.
The sand is a specific sand type since it is less than 5% by weight Si02. The sand further contains at least 30% by weight greywacke. Greywacke is a type of stone containing feldspar, apatite and the like. Clay mineral may also be present. It is a clastic sedimentary rock with a density of for instance 2.6 kg per m3. The greywacke can be applied in different grain size distributions (or combinations), where
3 the grain size distribution is such that the average particle size can be around 1 mm, 4-8 mm, 11-16 mm.
The cement used is generally a portland cement, in particular a portland slag cement.
For an optimum fire-resistant property the wall covering preferably has a content of mineralized wood fibre of preferably 7-15% by weight, more preferably 10-15% by weight.
By selecting the content of mineralized wood fibre subject to the desired properties, not only is an optimum fire-resistant property obtained but also an optimum sound-insulating property. It is striking in this respect that use is made of a component based-. 'on wood fibre to obtain fire-resistant properties.
The fire-insulating wall covering preferably contains 35-50% by weight sand, while the Si02 content is preferably lower than 2.5% by weight, more preferably lower than 2% by weight. By opting for a relatively low Si02 content in combination with*an optimal choice of the quantity of greywacke, (preferably at least 50% by weight), optimum fire-insulating properties are obtained and the fire breakthrough can be extended a very long time and far beyond the test time (2 hours).
A fire-insulating wall covering is-found to suffice well in practice if it preferably contains i) 10-15% by weight mineralized wood fibre;
ii) 35-50% by weight sand with an Si02 content smaller than 2% by weight and a greywacke content greater than 50% by weight; and iii) 25-40% by weight cement.
The best properties are obtained if in this case the cement is a low-chromate cement.
The fire-insulating and fire-resistant properties of the wall covering can be further improved if the mineralized wood
4 fibres and/or the side of the wall covering to be exposed are provided with an impregnation which further improves the fire resistance and/or the durability of wood fibres. Such an impregnating agent is for instance the impregnating agent described in the German patent application 197 27998. This impregnating agent is preferably applied to the mineralized wood fibres in a quantity of 0.1-1% by weight, more preferably 0.1-0.5% by weight. In the case the wall covering is arranged on a wall to be exposed, it is recommended to apply the impregnating agent in a quantity of 30-500 gram per m2, preferably 100-250 gram per m2.
The fire-insulating wall covering according to the invention can in principle be formed on-site and cured on-site in a mould. It is however also possible for pre-cured plates to be taken to the location of use.
If the fire-insulating wall covering has an insufficient strength in itself and insufficient bearing capacity, it is recommended to arrange such a fire-insulating wall covering on a supporting layer, for instance a concrete layer or concrete plate.
In that case the fire-insulating wall covering can be formed on an already present concrete plate and attached thereto using connecting means. Another option is to arrange finished fire-insulating wall coverings on a prepared support layer using fixing means. Use is made in this case of openings arranged in the fire-insulating wall covering for arranging the fixing means and of plugs of fire-insulating wall covering to cover the fixing means.
In the case that a plurality of plates of fire-insulating wall covering according to the invention are applied, this results in joints. For optimal retention of the fire-insulating properties at the position of the joint, it is recommended to make use of an offset joint and to fill this joint with either fire-insulating wall covering in uncured form or with another fire-insulating seal.
A good fire-insulating wall covering is generally obtained according to the invention if relative to the cured
5 weight are mixed 5-20% by weight mineralized wood fibre, 30-60% by weight sand with an Si02 content smaller than 5% by weight and a greywacke content of at least 30% by weight; and 20-50% by weight cement, and 10-30% by weight water is then added, whereafter the mixture is cured to form the fire-insulating wall covering. Wall thicknesses of 10 to 500 mm are generally possible.
Mentioned and other features of the fire-insulating wall covering according to the invention and of the method for preparing such a fire-insulating wall covering will be further elucidated hereinbelow with reference to two embodiments, which are only given by way of example without the invention being deemed limited thereto.
Figures 1 and 3 each show a perspective view of a space provided with a fire-insulating wall covering; and figures 2 and 4 each show a cross-section at the position of details II
and IV respectively of figures 1 and 3.
For the preparation of the fire-insulating wall covering, use is made per m3 of:
- 12% by weight mineralized wood fibre - 32% by weight portland slag cement - 42% by weight sand (Si02 content smaller than 5% by weight, greywacke content 42% by weight) - 0.01% by weight pigment (chromium oxide) - 0.1% by weight impregnating agent (DE 197 27998) - residual water.
This mixture is placed in a mould provided with profiles, recesses for fixing points, rebates and joints. The mass is vibrated, pressed and finally released onto a ground
6 in order to cure. The formed plate is optionally sprayed at this moment with impregnating agent. Such a plate is applied in the embodiment shown in figures 1 and 2.
In another embodiment the fire-insulating wall covering according to the invention for curing is arranged, for instance in a curved mould, onto a support layer of concrete already arranged therein. After curing these structural parts can be applied in for instance the embodiment according to figures 3 and 4.
In another embodiment, preformed fire-insulating wall coverings according to the invention are placed in a mould after being provided with coupling means for coupling to the concrete layer to be arranged. Use is for instance made of wood screw bolts which protrude out of the surface and which will be taken up in the concrete layer to be arranged on this wall covering. Via the coupling means an optimal attachment is thus obtained between the concrete layer on the one hand and the wall covering according to the invention on the other.
Figure 1 shows a tunnel 1 provided with a concrete bearing structure 2 with fire-insulating wall coverings 3 according to the invention fixed thereto. Fixing means 4 are covered with conical plugs 5. Wall coverings 3 are mutually separated by a joint 6.
Figure 2 shows a detail in cross-section of the structure of this tunnel wall which is provided with wall coverings 3 according to the invention. Wall covering 3 is arranged in the concrete bearing structure 2 using fixing means 4, in this case cotter bolts 7. This bearing structure 2 is further provided with a reinforcement 8.
As shown in figure 2, joint 6 is an offset joint which is filled, wholly or only in the two straight joint parts, with a fire-insulating seal 9, optionally a mass of the
7 PCT/NL2004/000237 insulating wall covering according to the invention still to be cured.
Figures 3 and 4 show a pedestrian passage 10, for instance in an underground station. Use is made in this case of wall plates 12 and 13 which are preformed and set up in situ. Wall plates 12 and 13 once again comprise a concrete support structure and a wall covering 14 according to the invention. Wall covering 14 is provided with wood screw bolts onto which is poured the concrete bearing structure 11, 10 which is also provided with a reinforcement 8.
In both cases the wall coverings 3 and 14 according to the invention are found to satisfy the stringent requirements made in respect of fire-insulating properties. When exposed to a temperature regime as according to the table below, it 15 was found that on the side of such a 100 mm wall covering remote from the fire the temperature remains below 120 C, and is even close to a temperature lying between 100 and 110 C.
